Our Solutions

We combine the principles of Positive Leadership with the Five Behaviors Team Assessment to help mature companies and late-stage ventures accelerate their sales results. With this unique combination, participants achieve greater success because they are able to:- recognize team members’ workplace styles and signature strengths- build trust and team cohesiveness- focus on achieving short-term results while building long-term capabilities - learn how to successfully navigate different prospects’ buying styles- practice the art of “slowing down” so they can accomplish more and enjoy their jobs

We combine the science of Positive Leadership with the Everything DiSC Workplace Style Assessment to help technical teams up-level their impact as leaders and build capacity in their teams. Participants will experience improvement in their leadership skills because they will be able to:- recognize team members’ workplace styles and signature strengths - understand the limitations of their “Mindware” – the learned intelligence we use to make everyday decisions and solve problems - practice mind-hacking techniques to go beyond their “Mindware”- become more professionally agile - move from being solely a technical expert to being a player/coach- build their “brand” as a team that gets things done (not the “department of ‘NO’”)

We combine the science of Positive Leadership with the Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team Assessment to help start-up Leadership Teams make the critical step of “growing up.” Participants will know they’ve “grown up” because they will be able to:- recognize team members’ workplace styles and signature strengths - create alignment on key goals and priorities such as strategy and fundraising - model key leadership behaviors such as building strong teams and retaining highly engaged employees - identify and advance the core cultural values that launched and built the company- demonstrate that they are leaders, not just bosses
